Announce: Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0
We're pleased to announce the next release of Haskell Platform: a single, standard Haskell distribution for everyone. Download Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0: http://haskell.org/platform/ The specification, along with installers (including Windows, Macintosh, and Unix installers for a full Haskell environment) are available. Notable version changes with this release: ghc 7.4.1 cabal 1.14 & cabal-install 0.14 mtl 2.1.1 & transformers 0.3.0.0 alex 3.0.1 full package and version list: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/changelog.html Thanks to: Joachim Breitner, George Colpitts, Duncan Coutts, Jason Dagit, Chris Dornan, Yitzchak Gale, Mikhail Glushenkov, Andres Löh, Gábor Páli, Jens Petersen, Don Stewart, David Terei, Johan Tibell, & Mark Wright for their efforts and help in putting together this release. -- The Platform Infrastructure Team Mark Lentczner, release manager --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Haskell Platform is a single, standard Haskell distribution for every system, in the form of a blessed library and tool suite for Haskell distilled from the thousands of libraries on Hackage, along with installers for a wide variety of systems. It saves developers work picking and choosing the best Haskell libraries and tools to use for a task. When you install the Haskell Platform, you get the latest stable compiler, an expanded set of core libraries, additional development tools, and cabal-install – so you can download anything else you need from Hackage.

Awesome! Congratulations! Download Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0:
It's a relatively minor thing, but I noticed that the above URL redirects to http://hackage.haskell.org/platform// which is incidentally considered a different URL from http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ by Google's +1 service. Perhaps not surprisingly, http://haskell.org/platform redirects to the latter, single-/ Hackage URL. Regards, Sean
Congratulations on the release! Thank you for all the hard work and great to see it come out in this timely manner. :-)

I can reproduce this with Chrome, but not Firefox. Equally surprising to me is that the number of slashes also seems to affect the CSS presentation of the website in Chrome. // seems to give the Summer theme, whereas / gives the Winter one! Kind of weird. Anyway I agree it would be better to avoid the superfluous slashes if possible. I am going build HP 2012.2 for Fedora 18 soon but the first proper build may be after ghc-7.4.2 is released. Jens

Your browser might be caching the file. Try pressing Ctrl-F5 on the winter page.
